The Indiana Toll Road is banning large semis between the Portage and Angola exits as lake effect snow falls on much of northern Indiana.
The ban begins at 8 a.m. Wednesday, Feb. 10, and applies to triple trailers, long double trailers, high-profile oversize permit loads and still haulers, according to a tweet from the Indiana Toll Road. The ban will last until 8 a.m. Thursday, Feb. 11.
The Indiana Toll Road was shutdown early Wednesday morning in the eastbound lanes near mile marker 46 after multiple semis were involved in a collision.
